This paper provides an overview of a meeting between US and Brazilian officials hosted in August 2014 by the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center on Contemporary Conflict at which the participants discussed factors affecting mutual perceptions of nuclear, space, and missile technologies. The aim of the meeting was to increase mutual understanding of 1) the ways these advanced technologies are perceived, developed and managed in the US and Brazil; 2) the regional and global security threats that arise from these capabilities; and 3) the means for cooperation on managing the negative implications of these technologies, both at the inter-governmental and civil-society levels.
